Personally, I agree with SMOG. Although, there's a huge caveat that I don't have and haven't used an 800.

But I have my 770 with OS2006. I don't know that I'd use the phrase rock solid, but I've had very few problems with the OS. I was always planning on upgrading to 2007HE or 2008HE, but I just haven't found the need to do that. 2006 has been fine for me.

I use mine for web browsing, fbreader, movies (infrequently), music, and lots of shell/terminal stuff. (And some games and Maemo Mapper)

I have a 1GB card I use for Maemo Mapper and a 2GB I use for regular usage with music/videos.

The main reasons I stopped using my Axim and moved to the 770 were screen size for web browsing and the cover.

I realize some people don't think the cover is a big deal. And that's great for them. For me, the cover was the selling point, and it's still a huge plus for me.

Faster/more memory would be nice. But I love the form factor of the hard cover, and I don't think I'll change until (if) I find a similar cover for the other models.

And I'm happy enough with my 770 that it's not a big deal if they don't and I stay with my 770.

And with the Youtube plugin on Canola, I can have all my Weird Al videos from Youtube on it now. :-)

It's not an iPhone, and it's not cutting edge, but it does what I want, and for me and some others, it's pretty stable.
